HELP - Release Clause Doesn't Apply?
I found a brilliant wonderkid with a release clause under 1 million - which seems to good to be true. The catch is, he's non-EU, and I'm out of non-EU spots for the season. So, naturally, I selected "End of Season" as the transfer date, yet the release clause no longer works. Apparently, the only way I can sign him for 775k is if I sign him for the next available window, which is January, at which point the transfer would be cancelled.
Is this how it works in real life, or is this a bug I s
No, you can sign more than your allotted amount, you just cannot register them. Just like you can sign players without a WP in English but cannot play them. It may be that one of your EU players become a EU national in the near future (through naturalisation) and you can register them then.
